The Hundred Stories of Miss Ghost

She disappeared mysteriously on the day of her final graduation in the third grade. There is no trace of her existence, and no one except me has any memory of her.

At this moment, I made up my mind to look through my graduation photos over the years to see if I could find any clues about Xi Yan's disappearance.

After continuing to ask these three guys to help me find and pay attention to the strange stories on campus, I floated back to Xiaotong's room again.

When I walked through the window, I found it strange that Xiao Tong, who was already asleep before I left, sat up from the bed at this moment, frowning and pricking up her ears, as if she was concentrating on catching some sound. Seeing me floating into the room, she let out a small breath.

"Sister, where have you been?"

"Go and visit some of my younger brothers in the biology lab, why are you up?" Seeing her appearance, I was a little surprised.

"It's nothing." Xiaotong shook his head, "After falling asleep, I heard a slight 'tick, tick' sound of water dripping from my ears. I suspected that the faucet in the bathroom was not tightened. I just got out of bed and went to the bathroom to turn it on I turned the faucet once, and when I came back...it seemed that I could still hear one or two faint sounds...but now it's all right, there's no sound."

"Is there a leak in the pipe somewhere in the dormitory?"

"Maybe……"

"It's okay, Xiaotong, you can go to sleep, I'll be watching~"

It feels like Xiaotong is sometimes like an insecure kitten, once the shit-shoveling officer is away, he will be overly vigilant against all troubles.But you can't tell her this, or you may be beaten.

Xiaotong gave me a strange look, which almost made me feel that she had seen the thoughts in my head, but she just turned her head and muttered: "Tch, I'm not afraid, it's just that the voice is a little disturbing It's up to me..."

"Understood, sleep at ease."

Xiaotong lay down without a word, and after a long silence, she suddenly said, "Senior sister, you are quite reliable when you have time."

"Tsk, I've always been reliable."

————————————————————

"Xiaotong, come here!"

During the lunch break at noon the next day, Xiaotong was suddenly pulled out of the classroom by Youxiang who hurried over.

"Youxiang, what's the matter, it's not time for club activities yet?"

"Can't wait anymore, big crisis!"

Youxiang brought Xiaotong to the bulletin board in front of the staff room, pointed to the poster posted on it and shouted: "Xiaotong, there is also senior sister, right? Look, that despicable guy put The posters are all pasted here! If we don’t hurry up and do something to fight back, if that guy really becomes the president of the student council, our Folklore Research Institute will be finished!”

I took a look, and sure enough it was Kannazuki's campaign poster again, but it was different from the one posted in front of the student dormitory yesterday. The promotional content on this poster was mainly "strengthening discipline and community review".

[It's pretty awesome. ] I couldn't help but comment like this.

"Awesome? What's so amazing, isn't it just saturated publicity? We can also quickly print dozens of posters and put them all over the school!"

[No, it's not, the key is that you have to have a political opinion. 】

I had to educate Xiaotong and Youxiang about our school's election system.

In order to train students' ability, our school's student union is essentially a miniature elected cabinet, which is voted by the students and faculty members of the whole school. etc. are directly appointed by the chairman, so the candidates participate in the election in a form similar to a "party".And the number of faculty and staff in our school is only about 55 even if we add the dormitory supervisor, laboratory administrators, nuns, and administrative staff. Although the teacher-student ratio has reached 1:6, it is already an exaggerated figure compared to other schools. , but the number of votes for teachers is still too small compared to students. In order to prevent students from simply looking at their faces or deliberately spoofing with a curiosity-seeking mentality, and electing some strange student council presidents, a teacher's vote is equivalent to a student's when counting votes. Five votes, the total number of votes on the teacher's side and the student's side is almost 275 to 333. It can be said that the opinions of both parties are very important. On the surface, the student side is dominant, but in fact the student votes are usually scattered, while the teacher votes... are often quite Unite.Moreover, there is another check and balance method on the teacher's side, which is the Department of Discipline. The head of the Department of Discipline is directly appointed by the Sisters in charge of conduct, and plays the role of monitoring and balancing the student union.

Therefore, this reflects Kannazuki's cleverness. On the student side, she promotes that "association funds are allocated according to the number of clubs and their achievements." This is obviously sacrificing the interests of some unpopular small clubs to win over Big clubs, the number of big clubs is far more than small clubs, which is equivalent to guaranteeing the votes of the students; while the teachers' side is promoting the strengthening of discipline and club review, which caters to the tastes of teachers and can stabilize the teachers' side. vote.This is the importance of "political opinion".

After listening to my explanation, there were only countless question marks and ellipses left on Xiaotong's forehead.

"Is this a noble school?" She couldn't help asking, "Is it really necessary to do this?"

I spread my hands to express my helplessness, [No way, maybe this is the influence of my parents. 】

Youxiang also felt very desperate when she heard my words, "Then according to what senior sister said, it doesn't mean that we have no chance of winning at all. By the way, senior sister, what kind of political opinions did you put forward when you ran for election? Can we refer to it? ?”

"Well... Although I am a little embarrassed to say this, but I am good-looking, excellent in study, super practical ability, temperament and self-cultivation, students and teachers like me, so I don't need such things as political opinions at all. ? I just have to smile~(.o?-)?”

Although this is Ning Meng, Ning Meng = myself!So I'm not embarrassed at all!

"Senior sister's experience has no reference value at all!" Youxiang frowned, and after thinking hard for a while, she suddenly opened her eyes and said, "By the way, senior sister, did you just say that Kannazuki's political views are sacrificed?" The interests of the small clubs? In that case, can I unite those small clubs? Yes, she seems to have mentioned a few clubs casually last time, such as the comic department, the Xindong literature club, and the handicraft department? Club activities Shouldn't the value be judged only by 'results'? Maybe our political views can be defined as 'diversity'? This is also the view of our school all the time, and I think some teachers will support me."

【It sounds interesting, you can try it~】

"In that case, for today's club activities, let's visit those small clubs to get votes!" Youxiang decided the content of today's activities in this way.

At this time, I remembered the content of the "Seven Monsters Talk" I saw last night, and I suddenly became interested, so I said to Xiaotong: "Hitomi, in that case, how about the two of us choose the 'handicraft department'? I am very interested in this club." Quite interesting~”

"Huh? I have no objection..."

"Okay, that's it! I'll go and inform Jinghua that we will split up for the club activities in the afternoon!" After saying these words, Youxiang continued to rush to the first grade floor.

Xiaotong who stayed in place looked at Youxiang's back, sighed and said, "Do you really think Youxiang's idea is feasible?"

"What I just said means, 'Although I'm not optimistic, but if you want to do it, go ahead and do it~'"

"Sure enough, it sounds like something a black-bellied politician would say. But if you keep encouraging Youxiang like this, won't she be very sad when she really fails in the end?"

"Don't be so pessimistic. There is a small possibility of success. It's not only worth doing things that are destined to succeed? Besides, don't you think this is very interesting? Sitting there every day will rust Yes, that's why you should participate more in life, Hitomi~ I like Youxiang very much, every day life will be quite fulfilling by her side~"

"It will also become quite tiring. But... I don't deny what you said, senior sister. When I first came to this school, if Youxiang hadn't forced me into the club, I still don't know how time passed."

"So, Xiaotong, you might as well be honest and say 'I like club activities', how about?"

"...Now I really like club activities." Xiao Tong hesitated for a moment, and actually said so.

This shocked me instead, "No! Who are you?! You are definitely not Xiaotong! The Xiaotong I know can't be so heart-to-heart! Where are you possessed by an evil spirit?!"

"...Go away, I am obviously a very honest person most of the time."

"I even learned how to be thick-skinned. It seems that I have been possessed by a very, very powerful evil spirit. I have to get rid of the spirit!"

"Isn't it just being possessed by you, senior?"

"Huh? Impossible, I am not a thick-skinned evil spirit who is so elegant and shy."

"...Sister, go to hell."

"Sorry, it's dead."

"...I don't have time to talk about cross talk with you, let's go, I want to investigate what kind of person the head of the handicraft department is, and I have to do something to save the club."

Chapter 10 The Last Member

As the student president who was in charge of reviewing various clubs in the past, I still remember the name of the current president of the handicraft department, um...she is called Shimotsuki Ying, and she is a second-year student like Hitomi, but in a different class.

The activities of the Handicraft Department, just like the name of the club, is to make all kinds of small handicrafts by hand, such as embroidery, wool felt, dolls, sewing small clothes, etc. This kind of activity is quite popular among girls. Welcome, so I remember that when I first entered high school, although the number of people in the handicraft department was not as large as those of those traditional big clubs, the number of people was still quite large. At that time, several lovely ladies in the handicraft department were trying to persuade me to join the club. .

But... this seems to be the content of Shuangyue Yao's activities before joining the club.Let me think about it, at the school festival last year, what was displayed in the craft department?

By the way, it's a life-sized ball-joint doll (BJD) about 1 meters tall.

It is said that at the school festival, the doll was put on a chair in an elementary school girl's uniform, and unsuspecting tourists approached the doll and asked if it had gotten separated from its family.And when they learned that it was not a living person, but a dummy, the expression of the tourists can be imagined.

Of course, that doll was made by Frost Moon Ying. Unlike the family background of most of the students in this school, Frost Moon Ying came from a family of craftsmen who made dolls.

"The handicraft department used to have quite a few people, but just last year, several girls from the handicraft department handed over their resignation to me and applied to change clubs. At that time, I also briefly asked the reason, but The reasons they gave were strange."

"What is it?"

"What is it...'I can't stay in that space anymore', like that."

"It doesn't make sense."

"I didn't quite understand it at first, but then I understood after visiting their activity room during the club review."

"Ok?"

"You'll see for yourself after a while."

Now, we are already standing in front of the activity room door of the handicraft department. When Xiaotong stepped forward and was about to knock on the door, we heard voices from inside the door at the same time.

The sound insulation performance of the school room is not bad. It is difficult to hear what is being said inside through the door. The voice is intermittent, and there is always a pause after a sentence or two.And, after Xiao Tong raised his hand and knocked on the door, the sound inside completely disappeared.

With a sound of "click", the door was slightly opened with a gap, half of the head poked out from the gap, the long hair casually scattered behind the head slipped down naturally, a pair of big, long eyelashes His eyes blinked.

When I met these eyes, I suddenly had a strange feeling. They were obviously a pair of very beautiful jewel-like eyes, but they gave me an inorganic and inflexible feeling, as if... It's really like a doll's eyes.

A somewhat ethereal voice sounded from this guy who looked like a porcelain doll: "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

"Well... we are here to find classmate Shuangyue, the head of the handicraft department, is she there?" Xiaotong hurriedly replied.

"I am." The porcelain doll's head tilted even harder, like a big question mark, "What can I do for you?"

"We want to talk about the upcoming student council president election..."

"I'm not interested in that." As she spoke, she was about to close the door.

"Wait, wait a minute!" Xiaotong hurriedly locked the door of the house, and said quickly, "This issue is related to the survival of our associations! Do you know the head of the Disciplinary Department, Kannazuki Xiaohua?! If that person becomes the If the student council president says it, our club will be abolished!"

"Abandoned Society..."

The porcelain doll blinked again, and finally took a step back, let go of the door and said, "Please come in."

Xiaotong and I walked into the activity room of the handicraft department together, and finally saw the interior of the activity room clearly. Seeing her appearance, she should have immediately understood what the former handicraft department members said, "I can't stay here anymore." It’s in that space.” It’s probably the meaning of the words.

Obviously this room should be the same size as the activity room of the Folklore Research Institute, but just from the perception, it would feel that this room is more cramped and cramped, just because the room is full of dolls.

There are shelves on the walls on both sides of the room, and on these shelves are placed one after another, and the number of dolls cannot be judged in detail at a glance. Some of them are resin dolls, and some are wood carvings. , some are stuffed dolls made of fabric, but more are human-shaped dolls with spherical movable joints. Most of these human-shaped dolls are not tall, ranging from a dozen centimeters to about sixty or seventy centimeters.

And in this room, the most eye-catching thing is the two human figures in this room who are almost the same size. Both of them seem to be the size of elementary school girls, and one has a childish hair. They seem to be very quiet. Sitting on a chair in the corner by the window, with a book spread out on her knees, another little girl with a ball head was sitting on a chair next to the table in the middle of the room, her big eyes were staring at the center of the table, as if to I am very curious about the work being done on it.

And on the tabletop, there was an unfinished humanoid torso, and a milky white head with no hair lying on its back. The four hands and feet were piercing the foam beside the table with bamboo sticks.

In addition, I also realized another thing, before we came in, there was no one in this room except Shimotsuki Yingying.

After stepping into this room, even though these dolls didn't move at all, I couldn't help but feel a weird feeling, as if I was being stared at by all the dolls placed here at the same time. When I twisted the angle of view violently, I could vaguely catch the eyes of some dolls quickly turning from looking at me to other directions.

Hmm... this must be an illusion, right? ?

"Wow... these dolls, did you make them all by yourself?" While the hair was standing on end, Xiaotong also asked Shuangyueying in a complicated and amazed tone.

"They are not dolls. Dolls are just toys without souls. They are human figures with spirituality." When Shuang Yueying heard Xiao Tong's words, she first corrected her in this way very seriously, and then she answered Xiao Tong's question, "What is there?" Only the BJD was made by me, and the other clay dolls, wooden dolls and woolen dolls are left by the former members.”

Xiaotong carefully observed the two immobile little girls in the room, and after confirming that they were indeed just dead objects, and there was no other living person in the room, she asked strangely: "Then... What about the other members of the manual department?"

Shuang Yueying sat down at the table again, and replied casually: "The third-year seniors have all retired, and the other members have applied for resignation at the end of last semester, so there is only me left here, and Qianqiu I'm with Makoto. That's why the nagging guy came to my door yesterday, saying that a minimum of four people is needed to set up a society, and our society must be abolished if we don't have enough people. I was very angry and drove her away."

"May I ask, Qianqiu and Makoto are referring to..."

Shuangyueying casually pointed to the two figures in the room with the ball head and the girl's head, breaking Xiaotong's last luck.

"That is to say... there is only one person... This... this can't be done..."

That's right, our purpose is actually to win more votes, but if there is only one person left in the club, it's really meaningless to win only one vote.It's no wonder that Kannazuki chose to please the big society. Sure enough, it was easy and simple to harvest the votes of the big society.

Xiaotong looked at Shuangyue Ying's eyes that were free from impurities, but seemed a little mechanical and lifeless, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and carefully made a suggestion: "Thinking about it this way, if our club is only counted as living people If so, it seems that the minimum standard of four people has not been met, or else... do you intend to join our club? This will just make up four people."

Frost Moon Ying shook her head like a rattle, and replied very simply: "Neither Qianqiu nor Makoto wants to join other clubs, and there is only one person left in our department. As long as you give me a few more days, I will be the last member of the club." It’s done~ so there’s no need.”

Chapter 11 No one can refuse the temptation of the bathtub, no!

It can be seen that this minister is not very hospitable, and he doesn't seem too passionate about preventing Kannazuki Yoka from being elected as the president of the student union. He just verbally promised to vote for us, and then he used very Unfriendly stares at us sent us out the door.And not long after the door was closed, there was another whispering sound from behind the door, as if she was talking to someone.

"The head of the handicraft department is indeed mentally abnormal." I lowered my voice and whispered to Xiaotong, "She really treats those dolls as living people... and the dolls she made They are indeed lifelike. At first glance, they will be completely regarded as real people. Only after careful observation can I still see the stiff and inconsistent parts of the doll. In a second, the puppet will move by itself! No wonder the members of their club are going to transfer one by one!"

"Hmm... Is there such a possibility that the puppet... really has some evil spirit attached to it?" Xiaotong said cautiously, "Although I really didn't see anything, but after all There are quite a few scary legends about dolls... Annabelle and the like?"

"It's hard to say... But according to my observation, the two dolls, including the one she is making, should be just ordinary dolls without any supernatural effects. You forgot that I have a very simple one Is it a way to distinguish supernatural things? As long as it is something that I can touch, it is a supernatural thing. I poked those two puppets a few times with my hand just now, and they all went straight without any hindrance. It passed through their bodies, so it shouldn't feel like a supernatural item...it should be just the uncanny valley effect?"

It's hard to say whether there is a problem with the handicraft department, but after spending so much effort to get only one vote, the efficiency is indeed a bit too low.

Afterwards, Xiaotong and I went to visit several other small clubs, such as the Art Club, Xindong Literature Club, etc. However, the attitude of these clubs was much worse than that of the Handicraft Club. Before Xiaotong could finish speaking, the leader pretended to look left and right, then made a strange expression as if he couldn't hear Xiaotong's words, and said to himself: "Hey, that's weird , No one, how could there be a knock on the door?" Then the door was closed with a "squeak".

"Huh, I'm still playing this 'invisible man' game. It's a good thing these people are not tired of it. Why don't I really show her what an 'invisible man' is?!" I said angrily.

"Forget it, senior sister, let's go, I'm used to it." Xiaotong said blankly, "There's nothing to worry about with them, the big deal is going back and stabbing some of their villains."

"...You don't sound careless, do you?"

"Let's go and find the next one."

Knocking on the door of the computer department again, the director of the computer department, Rie Morita, listened carefully to Xiaotong's appeal, then she looked around vigilantly to see if anyone was coming, and then pulled Xiaotong into the room and whispered to her Said: "Well... From an emotional point of view, I especially support you! After all, thanks to that old hag in the Central Plains and her lackeys, our department's forums have been blocked, the Internet will also be restricted, and the computer department will become a trance department. Moldy department! Of course I want to vote for you if possible...but...with all due respect, this election is not about electing a person, but a "party", because positions such as vice president and secretary are all held by the president Come to appoint, then the president will definitely appoint your acquaintances. If Huashanyuan is elected, she will definitely let you, Mikayue, take a position. I have no prejudice against you, Mikayue... But between girls, Sanriyue, you also know that interpersonal relationships and small groups are very important. If some of my friends know that I voted for you, it may be a little troublesome...So, sorry! If there is anything else, Our computer department will definitely help!"

Morita Rii clasped his hands together and solemnly apologized to Hitomi.

Faced with such sincere words, Xiao Tong and I had nothing to say, so we had to go back to the department studio of the Folklore Research Institute in resentment.

In the department studio, everyone gathered together, and the atmosphere was a bit dignified.

In the end, it was still Xiaotong who couldn't bear the silence, and said to Youxiang, "Youxiang...sorry, originally there were many associations who were willing to support us, but because of me...or else, let me... "

"No need!" Youxiang patted the table and said, "There is nothing here that requires Xiaotong to apologize! It's the problem of those guys who are clearly about to be abolished and don't unite!"

"But... the votes we can collect so far are probably only... single digits, so... what should we do..." Jinghua looked at Youxiang who was angry, and asked a little weakly.
